Is it normal for safflower oil to be hot and spicy?

Normal. This is because safflower oil originally contains some medicines that are stimulating, such as ice chips. So apply to the body will feel some hot and some cool feeling. This is also to give pain relief to the wound and invigorate blood stasis. Rubbing hot hands and then applying directly will make the stagnant blood and tissue fluid be digested and absorbed by the body, so if the body has redness or sprains, you can use safflower oil to treat them, but if there are skin cracks, bleeding and broken skin, you can’t use safflower oil to heal the wounds, otherwise it will intensify the pain.
